Abstract

Abstract Image

Protonation of (PCP)PtH (PCP = η3-2,6-(tBu2PCH2)2C6H3) in CD2Cl2 at −78 °C with [H(OEt2)2]+BAr‘4- [Ar‘ = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] gives the PtII dihydrogen complex [(PCP)Pt(H2)]+. The H2 ligand is expelled when the solution is warmed to room temperature, but the dihydrogen complex is re-formed when H2 is added.
